<p>Hi! I'm responsible for ensuring that my company's (built-with-rust) product runs well on the upcoming arm macs. I'd be interested in trying out any sort of alpha-quality "barely-workable" version of rustc, finding bugs in the compiler and external crates, submitting patches, and etc. Any ideas on when a bare-minimum version of macOS+arm support might land in nightly, so I can begin testing? Thanks!</p>

<p>but also you can build it yourself following some instructions if you want.</p>

<p>I'm definitely not looking for any sort of commitment or official response here; just a guess. But fair enough.</p>

<p>Yes! Any pointers here?</p>

<p>I'm working on slimming down some of the steps (libc and cc accepted my PRs)</p>

<p>then the next step would be to get a target file added to rust-lang/rust</p>

<p>And if you trust me, I can also just provide a zip file of the compiler</p>
